Class of 2026 froshmores got their invites. One of them reached out to our child to talk about the experience.

No news for class of 2026. For class of 2025 someone mentioned 15 froshmore's were selected schools across counties (majority from FCPS as other counties have limited seats).

Can confirm that there are students who have received their offers of froshmore admissions.

The high-achieving students all got in as freshmen. The 3rd rate preppers who were able to slip in with the old system were denied.

3rd rate students got in as freshmen after the admission system changed and many got kicked out for failure to maintain min 3.0 ugpas.

Yes, under the old system some students who had early access to the test were able to slide in under the radar but had a tough time while at TJ, but with the new system only the very top students seem to get in.

Clearly, you do not understand the new system at all.

It is supposed to be Sophomore selection thread but spins again on the Freshman selection.
One thing is clear class of 2025 and beyond with current selection process are naturally ("innate") talented. There is no objective measures to evaluate their talents (except the fact that they made it to "TJ"). The "innate" talents can't be measured by PSAT/SAT/AMC/SO/Science Fair/Robotics/Math competitions/AP scores/NMSQT/Classes Taken/Class score/ or any other academic competitions....

Not my experience. The top kids in the school largely did not get accepted and instead lower caliber students got in, at the local middle school.

“not my experience” lol

u have no idea about the caliber of students who got in. These are serious students who did well on the problem essay and had a well rounded application.

But yes, continue to spin

Yes I have an idea about the caliber of students who got in, as well as some who were waitlisted and rejected. Many of the kids know as well.
Obviously they did well on the essays to get in.

those low caliber students were offered remedial assistance by both school as well as peers, but it didn't stop them calling it quits

The results were supposed to be in by June 30th.

Does anyone have any details ? How many Froshmores, which base school's etc?

Is there a sophomore decisions thread for class of 2026?

Which school and year(s) and what is your metric to determine Top Kids?
